LETTER: Jones is a hero

Let's hear it for Bob Jones, President/CEO of Old National Bank. In a world filled with less than honorable corporate leaders, Bob is a "giant among men."

Who else but Bob would care about the many devastated employees at Integra Bank? Providing training for displaced employees, meeting with them at a time when most people are sleeping or at best playing golf (Sunday at the Centre), and in general "caring" are virtues often overlooked in the corporate world.

We can all learn a lesson from this honorable and compassionate "community hero." Oh that there were more such paragons of virtue on the national level. Evansville and the entire Tri-State is a better place because Bob Jones decided to call Evansville, Indiana his home.
